Definitions
- Ostetadosynthesis devices for supplying the spinal column, such as pedicle screws
- Such osteosynthesis devices are used to correct spinal misalignments or to stabilize fractures by inserting and fastening the osteosynthesis devices into the vertebrae and then connecting them to one another via longitudinal rods, or so-called connecting rods, in order to fix the vertebrae in a desired position.
- the longitudinal rods are attached to the osteosynthesis devices with the help of grub screws and fixed so that they do not slip.
- Pedicle screws are preferably used as osteosynthesis devices, which have a bone anchor which is pivotably mounted polyaxially with a fork head and is angularly stable when the grub screw is fixed.
- Bone screws with a spherical head are preferably used as bone anchors.
- osteosynthesis devices with bone anchors and fork heads are mounted in such a way that the bone anchor is guided into the fork head from the proximal end and the bone anchor shaft is guided through the distal opening of the fork head.
- the assembly is problematic if the outer diameter of the Bone anchor shaft is larger than the opening diameter of the clevis and / or the diameter of the ball head of the bone anchor.
- a structure of a pedicle screw is known from the prior art, for example from US20060200128A1 or US2020121367A1, in which the fork head can be mounted with a bone anchor coming from the distal end.
- the clevis is made up of several parts and has a type of clamping cage or collet on the distal clevis area. Often three or more components are necessary.
- a multi-part structure of a bone anchor has a disadvantageous effect in terms of mechanical stability and maximum load capacity. Overloading can lead to disassembly and thus to premature implant failure. Therefore, building with as few components as possible would be desirable as it also reduces the number of possible errors in manufacturing.
- pedicle anchors (DE102018102173B3) are known from the prior art, which can be locked temporarily and thus allow an extended range of applications when treating spinal column instabilities.
- Such an arrangement is technologically complex and cost-intensive from the point of view of production. It is therefore desirable to provide as few components as possible, to implement temporary clamping, to reduce the assembly steps and at the same time to optimize the manufacturing costs.
- the invention relates to an osteosynthesis device, in particular a polyaxial pedicle screw, with a bone anchor having a head and with a clevis that is U-shaped in a side view, with a locking ring attached to it and a receiving opening on the clevis for a connecting rod, in particular a correction rod, and a closure element guided in the clevis .
- Bone screws that can be screwed to a bone are preferably used as bone anchors. However, hooks, clamps, nails and bone anchors of different designs can also be used.
- the essential features of the bone anchor are a ball-like head, a neck portion and a portion which can be anchored or attached in or to the bone.
- the fork head is to be dealt with primarily, and bone anchors are to be understood to mean all conceivable elements that can be connected to a bone.
- An essential feature of the fork head is that the ball head receiving area has slots which are open towards the distal end and as a result at least one deflectable leg is formed.
- the legs form the ball seat for the bone anchor head on the inside. If the legs are flexed outwards, they release the ball head of the bone anchor. When the legs are flexed inward, they generate a compressive force on the ball head of the bone anchor and create a clamp.
- the legs have a cone section on the outside through which the compression force can be introduced.
- the Outer contour of a cylindrical area which is used to ensure that a non-force-loaded form fit between the locking ring and ball head receiving area of the fork head can be set.
- the ball head receiving area and the locking ring have regularly recurring indentations on the form fit so that this form fit can be deactivated if the locking ring is twisted.
- the osteosynthesis device has a locking ring, which is attached at least partially around the ball head receiving area of the fork head, so that the locking ring can be rotated about a central axis relative to the fork head.
- a first rotational position (R1) can be set, in which the ball head receiving area can be deflected radially outwards with its legs, so that the bone anchor can be removed and/or inserted
- a second rotational position (R2) can be set, in which the ball head receiving area is blocked with its legs in its deflectability, so that the bone anchor is held stationary but pivotable. Turning the locking ring into the R2 rotary position creates a positive fit between the maximum outer cylindrical contour of the fork head and the smallest cylindrical inner contour of the locking ring. This form fit prevents any spreading of the ball head receiving area and so the bone anchor is captive but movably mounted in the fork head.
- the osteosynthesis device according to the invention can thus be configured in a modular manner by the user and assembled in the operating room at a later point in time than that of production.
- the bone anchor to be individually anchored or screwed into the bone first, and then the fork head with the locking ring to be attached to the bone anchor that has already been implanted.
- This has the great advantage that after the implantation of the bone anchor, the surgeon has significantly more space and a better view of the surgical field compared to the otherwise completely implanted pedicle screws.
- the locking ring is brought into the rotational position R2 and the polyaxial pedicle screw can be implanted as usual.
- the advantage is that on the one hand larger bone anchors, ie bone anchors with a larger outside diameter than the distal inside diameter of the fork head, can be mounted.
- the bone anchor portfolio can be minimized because the user Clevis and bone anchor can be combined during surgery instead of resorting to a ready-made, oversized portfolio.
- a portfolio must be in stock at the user's and thus significantly more capital is tied up than would be required for the modular version according to the invention.
- the rotation of the locking ring is usually performed with an instrument, which is omitted here to simplify the illustrations. This instrument holds both components in an H1 position and allows rotation (eg R1 to R2 or vice versa) of the two components to each other.
- the osteosynthesis device is only released again by the instrument when the rotational position R2 has been set, so that the osteosynthesis device is properly installed for the application.
- the clamping effect via a projection or a proximal contact point on the outer wall of the locking ring without the connecting rod or the grub screw being present. Since it is not a final clamping with an inserted connecting rod, this type of clamping is called temporary clamping. With the temporary clamping, it is possible for the user to convert a polyaxial screw into a monoaxial screw in a desired angular position during the operation. This means that all rotational degrees of freedom of a polyaxial screw are temporarily locked. The screw behaves itself monoaxial. The user can now manipulate the vertebra to be treated in a translatory and rotary manner until he inserts a connecting rod in the desired end position and fixes it with the grub screw.
- an axial compression force is transmitted from the closure element to the connecting rod, and this presses on the rod support points of the locking ring and generates a relative movement of the locking ring further distally, so that the ball head receiving area is compressed by the locking ring via a paired cone connection in such a way that the Bone anchor is clamped in the ball seat with a stable angle.
- two or more osteosynthesis devices are connected together using a connecting rod.
- a circumferential groove with a hook-like profile is provided on the proximal clevis area, which provides a grip for an instrument from behind.
- differently designed groove profiles or other holding features such as openings are conceivable, which provide a grip for an instrument from behind.
- clevis At the proximal end of the clevis there can be further and detachable sections with a threaded area which allow the connecting rod to be repositioned. It is also conceivable that a sleeve-like access formed by two longer legs is provided, as is used for minimally invasive access.
- the detachable leg extensions can optionally be connected to one another at the proximal end.
- a detachable connection means for example, predetermined breaking points that are suitable for removing the extensions after the connecting rod has been finally fixed. All metallic alloys that are known and accepted as orthopedic implant materials are suitable as the material. These include, for example, titanium, cobalt-chrome and stainless steel alloys.
- additive manufacturing is the method of choice.
- the fork head and/or the locking ring can thus be constructed in one piece.
- Additive manufacturing of metallic alloys also known as 3D printing, uses the laser or electron beam melting process.
- Targeted heat treatment e.g. HIP – hot isostatic pressing
- surface treatment are extremely important. Relevant literature is available for this, which explains the connections between the follow-up treatments. Due to the poorly accessible and fine-mechanical features, a grinding and blasting process is not effective.
- a corresponding reduction in surface roughness can be achieved here with the aid of chemical etching, which can optionally be supported by a galvanic voltage and/or by mechanical stimulation.
- the aim is to free the components from incompletely welded particles, since tensile stresses occur here and micro-notches caused by the incompletely welded particles can mean a weakening of the fatigue strength.

- An osteosynthesis device (1) for treatment of the spine, in which more than one osteosynthesis device (1) is used to connect one or more vertebrae by means of connecting rods (40) and thus stabilize the spine.
- spatially pointing coordinate references are defined, such as the proximal direction (101), the distal direction (102), which extend along a central axis (103).
- Outward from the central axis (103) defines the radial spread (104) and the circumferential spread (105) is defined by a constant radius and a variable circumferential angle ( Figure 1).
- the osteosynthesis device (1) has a fork head (10) that is U-shaped when viewed from the side, which has two fork legs (111, 112) with an internal thread (113) in the proximal direction (101), and a connecting rod (40) can be accommodated therein , and in the internal thread (113) a closure element or grub screw (60) and the fork head (10) is detachably connected to a bone anchor (30) (Fig. 1, Fig. 2b and 2c), and the bone anchor (30) is pivotably mounted in the ball head receiving area (13) of the fork head (10 ), wherein the fork head (10) has distally open slots (12) on the ball head receiving area (13) and thereby at least one deflectable leg (14) is formed (Fig. 2a).
- the bone anchor (30) has a head (31), a tool attachment point (32), a neck area (33) and an optional bone thread (34).
- the head (31) is characterized by a spherical outer surface which can be described by a diameter D31 (FIG. 2b).
- the osteosynthesis device (1) also has a locking ring (20) which is fitted at least partially around the ball head receiving area (13), so that the locking ring (20) can be rotated about a central axis (103) relative to the fork head (10) (Fig 2c and 3a).
- a first rotational position (R1) can be set, in which the ball head receiving area (13) with its legs (14) can be deflected radially outwards (57) so that the bone anchor (30) can be removed and/or inserted, and there is a second rotational position (R2) can be set, in which the ball head receiving area (13) with its legs (14) is blocked (58) in its deflectability, so that the bone anchor (30) is held stationary but pivotable.
- grub screws (60) can be used as the closure element (FIGS. 3a and 3b).
- the osteosynthesis devices typically have a tool attachment point, an external thread and a distal contact surface which, when assembled, is in contact with the connecting rod (40).
- the external thread has The grub screw has an undercut, so that when the grub screws are tightened, the two clevis legs (111 and 112) do not deform radially outwards.
- 3b shows the state of the osteosynthesis device (1) when it is finally fixed with a connecting rod.
- FIG. 4a and 4b show the structure of the preferred embodiment of the clevis (10). It can be seen that legs (14) separated by slots are formed at the distal end (102) of the fork head. The legs (14) have an outer contour (141) which describes the ball head receiving area (13).
- the legs (14) have at least one recess (143) in the circumferential direction (105), which extends at least in sections mainly along the central axis (103).
- These indentations (143) merge into the outer contour (141) of the legs (14) via curves and/or bevels (1411, 1412, 1421, 1422) or other partial surfaces. It is advantageous if the indentations (143) extend symmetrically from an imaginary center line (144) of the leg in the circumferential direction (105). extend and are divided and/or interrupted by slots (12). This results in the legs (14) being thicker along the imaginary center line (144) of the legs than the depression regions (143) which run to the regions (12) adjoining the gap.
- FIG. 4a and 4b also shows that at the distal end (102) of the fork head (10), the slots (14) form a section along the central axis (103) which describes a cylindrical outer contour (148) and thereby a Defined diameter D148, and this cylindrical outer contour (148) is interrupted by the depressions (143).
- the two illustrations Fig. 4a and 4b show that the fork head (10) is U-shaped in the side view and that two fork legs (111, 112) with an internal thread (113) are formed in the proximal direction (101), which are suitable for receiving a connecting rod (40) therein and for guiding a closure element in the internal thread (113).
- the two fork legs (111, 112) merge into one another in the central head area via an optional bevel (114).
- the fork head in its preferred embodiment has one or better two laterally arranged recesses (17) which extend from the proximal end (101->102) along, but at a distance, to the central axis (103).
- these recesses (17) are channel-like or at least partially constructed like a channel, so that an elongate actuating element (72) the fork head (10) at least partially can penetrate to come into contact with the locking ring (20).
- Fig. 5 illustrates the clevis (10) in a side view and in section.
- the fork head (10) has an opening (19) with the diameter D19 for a bone anchor (30) at the distal end (102) and forms a ball seat (15) with a spherical diameter D15, the diameter D15 is greater than D19, and a minimum deflection (SP1) of the legs (14) must be enforced so that the bone anchor (30) can be removed or inserted, which is at least half the difference between D15 and D19.
- SP1 minimum deflection
- the fork head (10) is characterized in that the ball head receiving area (13), viewed proximally (101) from the cylindrical section (148), adjoins a tapering area (146 to 149), and this directly or indirectly adjoins a convexly curved area Area of the outer wall (150) is adjacent and thereby the diameters D148, D149 and D150 can be derived, and the diameter D148 is larger than D150, and the diameter D149 is smaller than D150 and D148.
- the locking ring is illustrated in an oblique view. It can be seen that there are two bearing or contact surfaces (21) which are in contact with the connecting rod (40). This bearing surface preferably has a rounding (211) on the radially outer edge.
- the locking ring (20) is constructed essentially concentrically, structures or recesses being provided at the edge portion for grasping and then rotating the locking ring (20) by means of instruments. Inside, the locking ring (20) has a central through opening (23) which, when assembled, is in engagement with the ball head receiving area (13) of the clevis (10).
- the inner contour is formed by surface elements (24, 241) which are interrupted by indentations (243). The number of surface elements (24, 241) corresponds to the number of legs (14) provided on the fork head (10).
- the proximal end (22) of the locking ring (20) merges into the central opening via a bevel (223).
- FIG. 6 shows that spring-elastic latching elements (26) are provided on or in the locking ring (20). Optimally, they are constructed like a spring tongue (261), which results from slots (262) and a cavity (263).
- the preferred embodiment shows that the locking ring (20) is provided with at least one contact point or projection (25) on the proximal end (22) so that the locking ring (20) can also be separated from the contact point or projection (25 ) can be operated from here.
- Shown in Fig. 7 is a plan view of the locking ring (20) and two generated sectional views.
- Section AA shows how the latching elements (26) are constructed. Also shown is that at the distal end (102) of the locking ring (20) the inner wall sections (241) form a section along the central axis (103) which describes a cylindrical inner contour (248) with a diameter D248, and this cylindrical inner contour (248) is interrupted by depressions (243). Overall, the inner contour of the locking ring (20) corresponds approximately to a negative impression of the ball head receiving area (13) of the fork head (10), but with a gap. FIG. 7 also shows that the stops (271, 272) are arranged in pairs and are effective in two directions. In Fig.
- the locking ring (20) is fitted at least partially around the ball head receiving area (13), so that the locking ring (20) can be rotated about a central axis (103) relative to the fork head (10).
- a first rotational position (R1) can be set, in which the ball head receiving area (13) with its legs (14) can be deflected radially outwards (57) so that the bone anchor (30) can be removed and/or inserted, and there is a second rotational position (R2) can be set, in which the ball head receiving area (13) with its legs (14) is blocked (58) in its deflectability, so that the bone anchor (30) is held stationary but pivotable.
- Fig. 9b and Fig. 11 it can be seen in Fig. 9b and Fig. 11 that by turning the locking ring (20) a form fit (58) between the maximum outer cylindrical contour (148) of the Clevis (10) and the smallest cylindrical inner contour (248) of the locking ring (20) is generated.
- the indentations (143) on the fork head (10) describe an outer diameter D143
- the indentations (243) of the locking ring (20) approximate an inner diameter D243, and a diameter arrangement (D143, D148, D243 and D248) in the rotary position (R1) so that in the radial direction (104) there is a gap (SP2) between the legs (14) of the fork head (10) and the locking ring (20) so that the legs (14) can be deflected radially outwards (57).
- the gap (SP2) is dimensioned in such a way that the gap (SP2) is equal to or greater than the minimum deflection (SP1) of the legs (14).
- Fig. 11 it is shown that the aforementioned form-fitting is determined by the diameters D148 and D248, which are approximately the same size and in the rotational position (R2) a radial spreading (58) of Prevent legs (14).
- the gap (SP2) is partially or segmentally eliminated and results in an at least partial form fit, which is interrupted by the depressions (143, 243).
- the respective gaps (SP2) add up at these points to form a gap (SP3) that is approximately twice as large (FIG. 11).
- This form fit is preferably not limited to the cylindrical part of the ball head receiving area (13), but also extends to the conical area (146, 246) of both components.
- Turning the locking ring (20) creates an additional form fit between the largest outer cone-like contour (146) of the fork head (10) and the smallest cone-like inner contour (246) of the locking ring (20).
- the positive locking is opened again by turning in a different direction (Fig. 10).
- 11 shows that the locking ring (20) can assume a first position (R2, H1) along the central axis (103) in the rotational position (R2), in which the bone anchor (30) is held stationary but pivotable.
- a second axial position (R2, H2) along the central axis (103) is assumed.
- the ball head receiving area (13) is compressed by the locking ring (20) in such a way that the bone anchor (30) is held in the ball seat (15) at a stable angle.
- the second axial position (R2, H2) of the Locking ring (20) is distal (102) in relation to the first axial position (R2, H1) and the change in position via a change in path (152) of the locking ring (20) can be determined.
- the clamping force is mainly generated by a paired arrangement of an inner (246) and outer cone area (146).
- the axially acting compression force is diverted via the cone angle into a laterally acting and inward-acting clamping force. It is also shown in Fig. 11 that at least one resilient latching element (26) and a mating latching point (147) suitable for this are formed, which engage with one another as soon as the rotational position (R2) has been set in order to rotate the locking ring (20) from this rotational position from R2 to R1. In Fig. 12a and 12b the disassembly of the locking ring (20) from the clevis (10) is shown.
- the locking ring (20) can assume a first position (R1, H1) along the central axis (103) in the rotational position (R1), in which the bone anchor (30) can be removed and/or inserted, and as soon as the bone anchor (30) is removed from the ball head receiving area (13), the locking ring (20) can assume a further position (R1, H3) along the central axis (103), and as a result the locking ring (20) can be removed from the fork head (10).
- the prerequisite is that in order to reach the third axial position (R1, H3) along the central axis (103), the ball head receiving area (13) with its legs (14) deflects radially inwards (59) so that the locking ring (20) can be removed from the fork head (10) is.
- FIG. 13a to 13c show an alternative embodiment in which the locking element or elements (26) are arranged at the proximal end of the locking ring (20).
- a locking point (147) is provided in the opposite direction on the fork head (10) as a deepening recess on the fork head, in which the locking element (26) engages in the rotary position R2.
- Opposite turning, ie R1 is difficult.
- FIG. instead of the partial recesses (17), this embodiment has a closed channel for the use of an instrument (70, 71, 72).
- At least one recess or channel (17) is formed in the outer wall of the proximal fork head (10) along but at a distance from the central axis (103), and the recess (17) to the contact point or the projection (25) of the locking ring (20), so that an actuating element (72) coming from the proximal end penetrates the fork head (10) completely in order to reach the contact point or projection (25).
- the guidance of the actuating element (72) is thus improved.
- 15 shows a further embodiment in which the fork arms (111, 112) are connected to one another (115) in the proximal area (101) and contain the internal thread (113) in the connection. This can be beneficial when minimizing the risk of losing the connecting rod.
- a fork head (10, 115) which is closed towards the proximal end.
- at least one additional projection or contact point (25) which is directly or indirectly an element of the outer wall of the locking ring (20) and via which a compression force can be introduced, makes it possible to clamp the bone anchor head (31) even without inserted connecting rod (40) and/or grub screw (60) (Fig. 16a and 16b).
- At least one contact point or projection (25) is provided on the proximal outer wall (22) of the locking ring (20) and at least one additional holding feature (16) for attaching an instrument (70, 71) on the proximal fork head (10). ) intended.
- a recess (17) is optionally provided on the fork head so that the contact point (25) is accessible for an instrument from the proximal (101).
- a compressive force can be applied to the contact point (25) with the aid of a suitable instrument (70, 71), with the retaining feature (16) serving as a counter bearing for the reaction-tractive force (FIGS. 16a and 16b).
- the instrument must consist of at least two and mutually displaceable sleeves (70, 71).
- Suitable for this purpose is an outer sleeve (70) which can be secured to the retaining feature (16) of the clevis (10) by a suitable engagement feature (74) and an inner sleeve (71) which has corresponding pegs or projections (72). , which communicates directly with the contact point (25) and can apply a compressive force.
- the outer instrument sleeve (70) is masked out in FIG. 16b so that the pins (72) are better visible.
- These pins or projections (72) actuate the locking ring (20) from the proximal end and at least partially penetrate the fork head (10).
- such an instrument has a lateral oval cutout (73) in which a connecting rod (40) can be inserted and guided.
- the bone anchor (30) When a compressive force is applied to the contact point (25), the bone anchor (30) is clamped at a stable angle in the fork head (10, 13) without a connecting rod (40) and/or grub screw (60) having to be present. There is a central opening (75) in the center of the instrument (70, 71) for transporting another sleeve and/or grub screw (60).
